A well-designed deck makes entertaining easier and everyday garden time more comfortable. We design and install decking across BR3, from Eden Park to Clock House, creating clean lines and safe steps that suit family gardens. Whether you’re near Beckenham Junction station or enjoy weekend walks in Kelsey Park, we’ll help you get a space that feels purposeful. Expect tidy workmanship, crisp edges and a finish that complements your planting.
Beckenham’s mix of Edwardian houses, 1930s semis and period conversions often comes with varied levels, narrow side access and mature trees. We plan layouts that work with existing patios, conservatories and rear extensions, keeping thresholds neat and drainage sensible. For sloping plots, raised and multi-level decking can create usable zones without major excavation. If you’re in the decking Beckenham area and want a low-maintenance upgrade, composite is a popular choice.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels and discuss how you’ll use the space—dining, lounging or a safe play area. You’ll receive clear options on materials, subframe build, steps, balustrades and lighting, plus a realistic schedule (typically 3–5 days). Our team protects paths and borders, keeps the site organised, and finishes with a full walk-through and care advice. Homeowners choose us for dependable communication, precise installation and a long-lasting result.
Gardens in the London Borough of Bromley often include clay-heavy soils and mature roots, so we build stable subframes with proper ground preparation and ventilation. Parking and access can be tight around Elmers End and New Beckenham, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also design around common features of 1930s semis—side returns, narrow passages and existing concrete bases. The result is decking that sits correctly, drains well and stays solid underfoot.

Most projects in BR3 fall within £100–£200 per square metre, depending on material and build complexity. Softwood is usually the most cost-effective, while hardwood and composite tend to sit higher due to material and fixing systems. Typical total spend is around £2,500–£8,000 for a family-sized deck, with extras such as steps, balustrades, raised frames and integrated lighting affecting the final figure.
Most decking installations take 3–5 days from start to finish, assuming straightforward access and settled weather. Larger or multi-level builds, raised platforms, or decks requiring significant ground preparation can take longer. Timescales also depend on whether we’re adding lighting, handrails, or complex steps, and on drying time if we need to set posts or adjust existing bases. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after the site visit.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, especially when it’s low to the ground and doesn’t materially change overlooking or boundary treatments. However, rules can differ for raised decking, properties in conservation areas, or homes with specific planning conditions. We’ll flag potential issues during the survey and can advise on sensible heights, screening and layouts. If permission or a lawful development check is needed, we’ll help you gather the right details.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation issues such as subframe stability, fixings, and structural integrity when the deck is used and maintained normally. Manufacturer warranties on composite boards, hardwood or treated softwood vary by product, and we’ll explain what applies to your chosen materials. We also supply care guidance to help prevent common problems like algae build-up, staining or movement from poor ventilation.
We install softwood decking for value and a natural look, hardwood decking for a premium finish, and composite decking for low maintenance and consistent colour. Design options include raised decking to level out slopes, multi-level layouts to create dining and lounge zones, and integrated lighting for steps and edges. We’ll help you choose board direction, edging, steps and handrails to suit your garden shape, access points and how you plan to use the space.
